The only similarity between Katrina and Isaac will be the media blaming both storms on Republicans.

On Fox this AM, reporting was that it would make landfall as a Cat 1 with 90 MPH winds, but since it's a very slow moving storm, rainfall amounts are going to be 12"+ in some locations. So a large storm surge like Katrina is not likely, but with all that rain, there will be a lot of flooding.

I think the networks will use this as an excuse to relive Katrina. Since Isaac won't rival it, they'll have to keep viewers attention with Katrina. And of course, any coverage of Katrina won't be complete without pinning the entire blame for the aftermath on GWB.

The last week has provided two glitzy wrapped gifts for Obama - Todd Akin and now Katrina Lite.

good thing for LA they elected a competent governor instead of a crying panty wetting mess. She would be calling the DNC to see what would work best for Obama, allowing people to die or getting them out..

There actually is a chance (I'd say less than 50%, but still a chance) it will rival it in terms of the end result.
